These are excellent thoughts, thank you so much for writing this up.
My thoughts:
Let's create a doc on the legal concerns of selling things in California and begin documenting our findings. I suspect there is much prior art, perhaps we can find some guidelines from anime/comic conventions to fork. I like your note that we include these guidelines in a playbook for zine tablers. In fact, let's also create a playbook for zine tablers!
(Do we have money?) I think for logistical reasons we should expect all tablers to show up with their own zines ready to go. I think this is reasonable since part of zine culture is that they're supposed to be lo-fi and cheap to produce as an alternative to actual press (:
oops I have more thoughts but insufficient time, brb /o/
Chiming in to answer some questions:
In terms of printing zines:
Where does the money for printing come from?
This is a 3d table, really, with "audience pays for zines / audience doesn't pay" on one axis, "czf pays for printing / authors pay for printing" on the second axis, and "authors get revenue, czf gets revenue" on the third.
Do we have organizational overhead?
Do we want to print and display zines from a few people who can't be at the event? (I think yes!)
